Kubernetes Host: Add the Hosts

Prerequisites

You have selected the Kubernetes Worker hosts and entered any required credentials as described in Kubernetes Host: Select the Hosts.

About this task

The next step is to click the Submit button to install HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise on the selected hosts. This action prepares the software for installation on the selected hosts.

Procedure

  1. Click the Submit button.
    The Worker(s) Status table displays the following information for each host that you are adding to the deployment:
    • IP address: IP address and (if available), host name of the Kubernetes Worker host.
    • Status: Current status of the Kubernetes Worker host, which updates as the installation progresses. Example statuses:
      • Connecting: HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise is attempting to connect to the listed Kubernetes Worker hosts.
      • Running bundle: HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise has successfully connected to the listed Kubernetes Worker hosts and is preparing the hosts.
      • Phase 1 of 2 completed: HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise has completed preparing the listed Kubernetes Worker hosts, which are ready to be added. If you added the hosts by mistake, you may remove them by clicking the Delete icon (trash can).

      • Unlicensed: If adding the hosts would cause the total number of CPU cores to exceed the number of cores allowed by your license, then this status will appear in an orange bar, and you will not be able to continue installing the host. To resolve this issue, either add a new license that allows the increased number of CPU cores (see License Tab), or delete the hosts you are trying to add.

    If the host status displays an error, see Troubleshooting Kubernetes Host Installation

  2. After HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise finishes preparing the hosts and before finalizing installation, you can specify the use of each host's drives, or abort the installation on a host.

    Actions:

    • Clicking the Edit Disks icon (pencil) for a host opens the Edit Disk Allocation popup for that host, which enables you to select one or more drives to add for local persistent and/or ephemeral storage. See Kubernetes Host: Select Hard Drives.
    • To remove the hosts, click the Delete icon (trash can).
    • To view the log from running the installation bundle on the host, click the Setup Log icon (down arrow) for that host.
  3. Proceed to Kubernetes Host: Select Hard Drives.
